Woohoo!

The election is finally over, and it looks like I can relax. With the preliminary counting of the votes, it seems like there are three things to be happy about.

1. We have a new goverment!2. I probably got into local parliament!3. I will probably continue to be employed! (nice one)

I promise to go back to more normal food blogging tomorrow. For now, just for inspiration - a peach salad with thinly sliced red onions, and a simple garlic lemon vinaigrette. It was great with a piece of grilled beef.

The Swedish elections were mentioned in The Philadelphia Inquirer (newspaper) today. I was pretty sure Sweden had a new government but I wasn't sure what it meant for you personally. Will you keep your full-time job while serving in local Parliament?

Congratulations Anne! A friend of mine was elected to local government last year and she is happier now than she has ever been before. I have no doubt that you will make a huge success of it. And the idea of that sweet yet tangy salad with a nice piece of meat is just fabulous :-)
